Exclusion Criteria

1. Clinically significant or relevant abnormalities in the medical history, physical examination, and laboratory evaluation as assessed by the investigator,

2. Any medical disorder that may require treatment or make the participant unlikely to fully complete the trial, or any condition that presents undue risk from the IMPs or trial interventions,

3. Clinically relevant ongoing or clinically relevant history of physical or psychiatric illness as judged by the investigator,

4. Pregnancy or breast feeding,

5. Any acute or chronic illness or clinically relevant finding known or expected to modify absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of HCQ, midazolam, yohimbine, or pantoprazole,

6. Any known history of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to drugs or food or any other clinically significant allergies (except mild forms of hay fever),

7. Any known allergies to the compound or further ingredients of HCQ, quinine, pantoprazole, midazolam, or yohimbine preparations,
8. Prolonged QTc time: women: QTcF > 460 ms, men: QTcF > 440 MS

9. Clinically relevant findings at SCR. Minor deviations of laboratory values from the normal range can be acceptable, if judged by the investigator to be of no clinical relevance for this Trial

10. A positive human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C antibody screen,
